In this day and age it is very rewarding and comforting to make a major decision for the long-term security of your family. Over 14 years ago we decided upon the Kinghorn Heritage Family to create our family trust. Through the years it became very evident that this decision was a major and necessary step for a secure future in an ever-changing legal climate. The Kinghorn Family has been a close friend that has always been there to serve our family.

Robert and Britt O. Client Review September 8, 2020

At Kinghorn Law, the health and safety of our clients, team members, and friends of the law firm are top of mind amid concerns about the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19).

The uncertainty around the pandemic has many people with immune system challenges concerned about exposure to the virus. We are committed to ensuring everyone’s safety and making it easy and accessible for our community to get their estate planning questions answered and documents in place.

Here are the precautionary steps we’ve put in place to continue to operate safely and effectively during this time:

AT OUR OFFICE

Team training on current recommendations for preventative health and safety has been completed with all team members to ensure they are well-versed and adherent to best practices.
Hand sanitizer is available in our lobby and conference rooms.
We are frequently sanitizing high volume areas such as door knobs, conference room tables, and communal spaces after every client meeting.
Team members who are not well, are required to stay home.
We are keeping our distance to show you we care. We will greet you with a wave, bow, pledge or Namaste, but sadly, will no longer offer handshakes and hugs during this time.
We are monitoring and are poised to adapt quickly to any guidance or requests from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and our local health departments.

VIRTUAL OPTIONS

Consultations. Thanks to technology, we have flexible options to meet with you or your family virtually. If you’re concerned about exposure to the virus and prefer to meet virtually, you may opt to have your consultation or review meeting via video call.
Seminars. We are offering our Wills & Trusts Seminars as webinars so our community can continue to stay informed about their estate planning and incapacity options from the safety of home. For many, our educational webinars are the first step to creating their estate plan.

We also ask for your assistance to ensure the safety of others. If you are sick or symptomatic, please stay home. Per the CDC, if you have been diagnosed with COVID-19 or suspect you may have it, you should avoid public spaces and ensure you are seen by a doctor. Again, we can meet with you virtually, if needed.

We are communicating regularly with our team to keep them informed and to ensure their safety and yours.

Thank you for believing in our mission and continuing to be a client and friend of the firm. Our thoughts remain with those being hit hardest during this time.

We remain committed to your Health, Happiness, and Legacy,

Estate Planning attorneys are sometimes criticized for offering needlessly complex, 'canned' solutions. This never has been the case with Kevin. The documents he created were comprehensive when appropriate and surprisingly simple when suitable. In every case, they were individually crafted to meet our unique needs.
